Hi
Avast is telling me that it has detected the following rootkit: SVC: swcustcfg > ???
Cannot delete or move to chest. Comes up with: Error: Error 0xA0000101. (-1610612479)
Any help would be much appreciated.
BTW I’m running Telstra bigpond wireless 4G and windows 7.
Regards, skipai

For information only (don’t apply any fixes, etc. they are unique), see this old topic on the same detection, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=90891.0 .
This needs further analysis by a malware removal specialist:
Go to this topic http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 for information on Logs to assist in cleaning malware. Use the information about getting and using the tools and attach the logs here, not in the LOGS topic .

Unable to post as files are too large even though they are under 150k?

The cumulative total also comes into it max 192KB - If they won’t go collectively try individual.
If that is still a problem, you can use a file sharing site such as Mediafire.com - Upload to http://www.mediafire.com/ and post the sharing link.

Funny, I did the same thing as last night and it worked fine this time.
What other data do you need? This is all confusing to me as I’m no computer wiz lol.

it seems you have avast and Symantec/Norton installed
never install multiple AV as this can give all kind of mysterious windows errors and false positive detections
you
so you have to remove one
run and reboot - Uninstallers – Security Software http://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/security-software/

malware removers are notified…may take several hours before one arrive, so be patient
Hi that file is related to ZeroCD Sierra Wireless and I have come across this before, it is a false positive.
What it is, is that the registry data give a null value and that raises a red flag to Avast
If it is coming up on the rootkit scan then set it to ignore
The logs look clean
